• Rams' Aaron Donald: Turns in another dominant year

  02/03/2021 •

  Donald finished the 2020 regular season with 45 tackles (27 solo), 13.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 games. The All-Pro defensive tackle came through with another banner year, with his efforts playing a major part in the Los Angeles defense allowing the fewest yards and points per game in the league. There's no reason to expect Donald's fantasy production to slip in 2021, and he should be considered one of the best options at his position again next draft season.

• Rams' Aaron Donald: Cleared for Saturday

  01/14/2021 •

  Donald (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game in Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Once X-rays came back negative, there was never much doubt Donald would play. He said Wednesday that he doesn't have any pain, and while that might not technically be true, he'll likely aim for his usual three-down role Saturday afternoon in Green Bay. The superstar pass rusher had two sacks and three QB hits last week against Seattle, despite the rib injury limiting him to season-low 47 percent snap share.

  Donald (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. Donald suffered this injury during the wild-card win over the Seahawks. The All-Pro defensive lineman is officially considered day-to-day, and head coach Sean McVay said Sunday that he's expected to play in the NFC divisional round against the Packers, per Stu Jackson of the team's official site. Nevertheless, it's worth monitoring as the week progresses because the Rams' defense loses its identity without Donald in the fold.

  Donald (ribs) is day-to-day but expected to play in the NFC divisional round against the Packers, per coach Sean McVay, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. While Donald's reps in practice could be capped this week, his coach said the rib injury Donald suffered in Saturday's win over Seattle won't affect the star defensive lineman's availability for the divisional round. Donald is the lifeblood of the stingy Rams defense, as he posted 13.5 sacks in the regular season and another two in the wild-card round.
